Demercado (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's matchup with the Packers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Demercado was signed to the team's 53-man roster Tuesday, but he will ultimately take a seat in Week 6. In his absence, Javonte Williams and Tyler Goodson will handle the lion's share of the touches in the backfield.

Demercado recorded two carries for seven yards in Sunday night's 28-20 loss to the Giants.
Demercado operated as the team's No. 2 option at running back in Week 1 behind starter Javonte Williams, but he was limited to just five snaps on offense in the contest. Demercado signed with Dallas on Aug. 31, and his role could grow as he continues to get more comfortable in the Cowboys' offense moving forward.
Demercado may serve as the Cowboys' No. 2 RB on Sunday at the Giants after Malik Davis was ruled out for the contest due to a hip injury, Nick Eatman of the team's official site reports.
Davis was carted off the field during Friday's practice, and a diagnosed hip injury now could keep him sidelined for "some period of time," per Cowboys COO Stephen Jones on 105.3 The Fan Dallas. As the only other running back on the active roster behind starter Javonte Williams, Demercado, who was claimed off waivers on Aug. 31, seemingly is the next player up, but what kind of role he'll get off the bat remains to be seen. Demercado's competitors for reserve RB reps are FB Hunter Luepke and practice-squad member Israel Abanikanda.
Demercado is likely to be the primary backup to Kenneth Walker this season, Aaron Schatz of ESPN projects.
Demercado never reached 60 rushing attempts in a season during his three years in Arizona, but he has consistently been a big-play threat. He's had multiple runs of at least 40 yards in each of the last two campaigns, and he's also been highly involved as a pass catcher when considering his limited snap count. Demercado seems positioned to hold off rookie Emmett Johnson for the backup role to begin the year.
